As we all know that Search Engines like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft were supporting single format of Sitemaps for submission, Ask Search Engine has also started supporting to the same format now. This may help the WebMaster to notify Search Engine of the URLs on their site that they are wanted to be crawled. This Search Engines follow same Protocol and made new announcements.

Google official blog and yahoo search blog has blogged a day before. From the discussion,

• Sitemap.org is supportting for 18 Languages is one good news.
• Ask.com is also supporting to the sitemap protocol.
• The standard format “Sitemap:http://mysite.com/sitemap.xml” is to be added in robots.txt file.

Hope this would help webmasters a lot.
